these are men and women soldiers of the defense forces. how did that impact you? >> you know, getting the chance to meet them and spending ten days with these guys completely changed how you view the culture there when it comes to israeli and the military and the pridefulness they have in each other. it showed brotherhood like we were part of their army, and they didn't know us. i really appreciated that because these men and women is something that they're doing this. two-year service or four years, or whatever it is that they do. the entire country serves and has served. it just made us feel like there was a connection, like we're going to be brothers and sisters for the rest of our lives because we know what it is to be in war. we know what it is to be ptsd or dealing with darkness or invisible wounds or physical wounds. it was just amazing. it really connected me to them. >> i want to say to both of you, i'm so glad you were introduced to heroes to heroes. so glad that you were able to go to israel. i have been between 25 and 30 times myself over the past 40 y
